Mid-Distance Stars Korir & Souleiman To Miss Worlds Due To Visa Issues
800m favorite Emmanuel Korir and 1500m medal contender Ayanleh Souleiman will miss the 2018 IAAF World Championships due to Visa Issues
Today it was discovered that two-time NCAA 800m champion and gold medal favorite Emmanuel Korir will miss the 2018 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, England, due to a visa issue.
I think the men's 800 will be missing a big name tomorrow unfortunately

It is a shame Emmanuel Korir could not travel to Birmingham England to the world indoor championship, Because the Embassy could not process his Visa! What a shame!!

A similar visa issue also affected 2014 world indoor champion Ayanleh Souleiman, who will miss the 1500m prelims tomorrow.
